Ever heard the words “Who am I to do this?” rattling around in your head, even when you’re crushing it?
Yep, us too.
In this episode of Antarctica Did That For Me, we (your hosts, Keri Nelson and Cassa Grant) dive headfirst into imposter syndrome—because if there’s one thing that doesn’t get left behind when you go to Antarctica, it’s self-doubt!
Adventurers and Antarcticans also have those “I’m not good enough” moments… often in spades.
We talk about our own experiences with imposter syndrome, especially when it comes to taking big leaps and daring adventures.
Whether you’re scaling a glacier or just trying to scale the corporate ladder, that nagging voice in your head asking, “Who am I to do this?” can be crippling.
And it’s not just all in your head; there are institutional roadblocks and systemic factors that can make that self-doubt feel even heavier.
But guess what? You’re not alone.
We’ll explore how imposter syndrome shows up differently for everyone—sometimes it’s a whisper, sometimes it’s a roar.
But here’s the good news: we’ve got the tools to fight back.
This episode is packed with practical insights on how to kick imposter syndrome to the curb. So, if you’ve ever wondered, “Who do I think I am?”—this episode is your antidote.
